To repeat/expand on what Scott said, the messages app is just that, a central location where by default ALL of your messages show up. SMS, email, Facebook notifications, missed call notices (again, by default) are all considered 'messages'.

Typically, I just hide my individual BIS-enabled mail accounts (gmail, hotmail, etc.) and check them all through my messages account.

Ditto. It's the easiest way to go. Most of the time you can figure out which account it was sent to, so having separate mailboxes is kinda pointless... unless you have a mistress in Argentina you don't want your staff or family to know about.

Ok the way it was set up I had 1 icon that was messages and 1 icon for my specific email address and it was going to both so i hide the 1 for my BIS enabled and switched it to combined under options as suggested.
